550: Adam Donaghey

Adam Donaghey was a producer for Cinestate, a film studio founded to create populist movies for the rightwing crowd. For example, “Dragged Across Concrete” with Mel Gibson is a film where the racists are the heroes. Ben Shapiro’s Daily Wire partnered with him on Run Hide Fight.

Cinestate knew what they were getting when they brought Donaghey on. A Daily Beat investigation spoke to thirty people who said Donaghey was known to be a serial harasser. There is a record on one incident. Then he was arrested for sexually assaulting a child, which means a child sixteen or younger.
